Shakespeare writes the lyrics for the King's Coronation: UNSTaBLE MUSiC announces streaming of Leo King's Coronation Anthem on a new website
LONDON , May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Over four hundred years ago, William Shakespeare wrote the perfect words for the 2023 Coronation Celebration of HM King Charles III. They lay buried in Shakespeare's play King John, Act III, Scene 1, until composer Leo King discovered them and was inspired to set them to music:
Leo King says
"I picked up Shakespeare's Collected Works. It fell open at King John, and the words 'golden letters... set among the high tides in the calendar' leapt out at me. It was a magically inspirational moment. Right away, a naturally climbing, tumescent musical figure came to me to fit the words precisely, readily delivering a regally festive motif"
Wit, raconteur and National Treasure Gyles Brandreth comments
"This Coronation Anthem is a glorious musical memento of the Coronation Celebrations of HM King Charles III. Leo King has superbly married the immortal words of William Shakespeare with serene choral harmonies, in a stunning and exciting orchestral setting. Timeless, tuneful, textured – it's just tremendous!".

The widely gifted British composer Leo King produces musical works for private commission, delivering tuneful, richly tonal and harmonious instrumental and choral works, songs and anthems that are always appealing and exciting. His smooth and deeply-textured compositions address and appeal to a wide range of musical tastes from pop/rock, country/folk to serious light classical, orchestral and choral works. He is especially noted for splendid commemorative works that resonate piquantly with significant national and international events.
